Please allow me the great pleasure of presenting this photograph of my friend and one of the best jazz trumpet blowers I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. And I have known this gentleman for close to 40 years!
Shot at a recent Jazz Fest.

Re: Trumpet
Good shot, Terry. Committed expression on his face, and nice motion blur at the end of the trumpet. I think your mate will want to hang this one on his wall.

Re: Trumpet
Wonderful, Terry! Consider toning down the bright light in the background beneath the straight mute.

Re: Trumpet
Thank you Greg. I don't know (or haven't really evaluated) if it is motion blur. I shot wide f/2.8, 1/100 at ISO 2000 at an evening concert outdoors!
Always bad light in these venues.
So I'm thinking it a DoF blur but am not sure.
Thanks Mike. I'll have another look at the bright spot.
Oh, and BTW? Harmon mute (copper) without the stem!

Re: Trumpet
I was thinking it is classified as a type of straight mute because of the harmonics that are produced (as opposed to a cup mute) but I'm not sure about that. I didn't realize they are being made of copper.

Re: Trumpet
Pretty big difference Mike!
Straight, cup, bucket, Harmon...
...and new materials. The Harmon with stem is a kind of "wah-wah".
Next score you write I'll be happy to serve as brass consultant! You don't want to PO your brass blowers!

Re: Trumpet
Good one Terry. Whether motion blur or DoF it significantly adds to the shot.

Re: Trumpet
Now this is more like how your people shot looks like...very nice, Terry. My once piano instructor was a trumpet player primarily so as soon as I saw this one, I recognized it to be a muted one. He used to play at all our events.

Re: Trumpet
Nicely shot and framed Terry. I agree about the highlight though.

Re: Trumpet
Thank you guys!
Thanks for not mentioning the highlight David!
Really, I would rather you mention the incorrect levels setting in this shot instead!
(It has been corrected in the original file!)

Re: Trumpet
Great shot, the eyes, the concentration, the emotion
